Cómputo del salario en especie para el cálculo de la indemnización por despido. STS-SOC núm. 166/2020, de 21 de febrero

La sentencia dilucida si el pago del arrendamiento de la vivienda habitual y de las primas de un seguro de salud y accidente tienen naturaleza salarial y deben, por ello, ser tenidos en cuenta para el cálculo de la indemnización por despido objetivo; y, como cuestión derivada, reflexiona acerca del carácter excusable o inexcusable del error en el cálculo de la indemnización cuantificada al margen de estos conceptos.The judgment clarified whether the payment of the lease of the habitual residence and the premiums of health and accident insurance have a salary nature and must, therefore, be taken into account in calculating the severance pay for objective dismissal; and, as a derived question, it reflects on the excusable or inexcusable nature of the error in the calculation of the quantified severance pay regardless of these concepts

Effects of dietary restriction combined with different exercise programs or physical activity recommendations on blood lipids in overweight adults

Background and aim: Many exercise studies, although generally showing the beneficial effects of supervised aerobic, resistance or combined exercise on blood lipids, have sometimes reached equivocal conclusions. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of different programs that combined exercise and dietary restriction on blood lipids versus a clinical practice intervention for weight loss, in overweight adults. Methods: For this study 66 subjects participated in a supervised 22 weeks training program, composed of three sessions per week and they were randomized in three groups: strength training (S; n = 19), endurance training (E; n = 25), a combination of E and S (SE; n = 22). Eighteen subjects served as physical activity group (PA) that followed a clinical intervention consisted of physical activity recommendations. All groups followed the same dietary treatment, and blood samples were obtained for lipids measurements, at the beginning and end of the study. Results: Lipid profile improved in all groups. No significant differences for baseline and post-training values were observed between groups. In general, SE and PA decreased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) values (p menor que 0.01). S decreased triglyceride levels (p menor que 0.01) and E, SE, and PA decreased total cholesterol levels (p menor que 0.05, p menor que 0.01 and p menor que 0.01, respectively). Conclusions: These results suggest that an intervention program of supervised exercise combined with diet restriction did not achieved further improvements in blood lipid profile than diet restriction and physical activity recommendations, in overweight adults.

Estrategias para una dirección y supervisión eficaz de los trabajos de Fin de Grado y Fin de Master pertenecientes al Área de Derecho del Trabajo

La norma define el objetivo que ha de cumplir un Trabajo de Fin de Grado o de Fin de Master (TFG/TFM) señalando qué debe el alumno demostrar en él las competencias adquiridas a lo largo de todo el programa formativo y el nivel de aprendizaje alcanzado, pero nada dice acerca de la estrategia a seguir por el tutor del trabajo (PDI) para orientar al alumno en su elaboración. A partir de la experiencia vivida en el Área y de los problemas detectados hasta el momento, el trabajo pretende ofrecer una propuesta metodológica acerca del rol que el docente ha de cumplir, intentando delimitar cuáles son sus funciones, cómo debe enfocarse la autorización y qué puede exigirse al alumno

Does tension headache have a central or peripheral origin? current state of affairs

Purpose of Review The aim of this narrative review is to analyze the evidence about a peripheral or central origin of a ten-sion headache attack in order to provide a further clarification for an appropriate approach.Recent Findings Tension headache is a complex and multifactorial pathology, in which both peripheral and central factors could play an important role in the initiation of an attack. Although the exact origin of a tension headache attack has not been conclusively established, correlations have been identified between certain structural parameters of the craniomandibular region and craniocervical muscle activity. Future research should focus on improving our understanding of the pathology with the ultimate goal of improving diagnosis.Summary The pathogenesis of tension-type headache involves both central and peripheral mechanisms, being the perpetu-ation over time of the headache attacks what would favor the evolution of an episodic tension-type headache to a chronic tension-type headache. The unresolved question is what factors would be involved in the initial activation in a tension head-ache attack. The evidence that favors a peripheral origin of the tension headache attacks, that is, the initial events occur outside the brain barrier, which suggests the action of vascular and musculoskeletal factors at the beginning of a tension headache attack, factors that would favor the sensitization of the peripheral nervous system as a result of sustained sensory input.Funding for open access charge: Universidad de Málaga / CBU

Physical Therapy in Tension-Type Headache: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Objective: The aim of this study is to synthesize the effects of physical therapy on pain, frequency, or duration management in the short, medium, and long term in adult patients diagnosed with Tension-type headache (TTH). (2) Background: Tension-type headache (TTH) is the most common headache with migraine and its pathophysiology and treatment has been discussed for years without reaching a consensus. (3) Methods: A systematic review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020175020). The systematic search for clinical trials was performed in the databases PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PEDro, Scopus, SciELO and Dialnet. Articles were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, regarding the effectiveness of physical therapy interventions on adult patients with TTH published in the last 11 years with a score ≥ 6 in the PEDro Scale (Physiotherapy Evidence Database). (4) Results: In total, 120 articles were identified, of which 15 randomized controlled trials were finally included in order to determine the inclusion criteria. Changes in pain intensity, headache frequency or headache duration of individual studies were described (5) Conclusions: This systematic review shows that there is no standardized physical therapy protocol for the approach to tension headache, although all the techniques studied to date address in one way or another the cranio-cervical-mandibular region. The approach to the cranio-cervical-mandibular region reports significant effects in terms of decreasing the intensity of pain and frequency of headache episodes in the short and medium term. More long-term longitudinal studies are neededPartial funding for open access charge: Universidad de Málag

Herramientas docentes en la enseñanza del Master de Abogacía (MAB)

El éxito del proceso de aprendizaje depende, en buena medida, del acierto en la elección del sistema docente. Ello es tanto como decir que el mejor aprovechamiento del trabajo docente pasa por utilizar las herramientas docentes adecuadas y por establecer el sistema de evaluación más conveniente. Uno y otro elemento deben estar íntimamente ligados y, ambos, enfocados al perfil formativo que cada titulación presenta. El Master en la Abogacía es una titulación de características muy peculiares y que, por ello, exige de la utilización de un sistema docente distinto del que es común en las titulaciones de Grado emparentadas con el estudio del Derecho. En este trabajo, partiendo de la identificación de las particularidades del perfil formativo que el Master persigue, trata de analizarse cuales son las herramientas docentes más adecuadas para afrontar la docencia de la asignatura que el Departamento imparte en esta titulación “Prácticas de Derecho del Trabajo”

False positive rate of an arrayCGH platform for single-cell preimplantation genetic screening and subsequent clinical application on day-3

In this work, false positive rate of an arrayCGH platform for its use in day-3 single-blastomere analysis was calculated. For this purpose, 38 embryos diagnosed as abnormal on day-3 by FISH were re-biopsied on day-4. Single-cell day-4 arrayCGH diagnosis was then performed. A successful amplification was obtained in 97.4 % (37/38) of the day-4 cells analysed by arrayCGH. Day-3 FISH and day-4 arrayCGH diagnosis were concordant in 35/37 cases. The two discordant embryos were spread and all the cells from each embryo were re-analysed by FISH on day 5. The same error rate (2.7 %) for day-3 FISH and day-4 arrayCGH was obtained when comparing day-5 FISH re-analysis. After this pre-clinical phase, the platform was used for day-3 arrayCGH clinical application in 320 patients (1,760 embryos). Day-3 amplification rate was 98.6 %. An optimal reproductive outcome was obtained when applying arrayCGH to a clinical program: clinical pregnancy rate per cycle of 38.4 % and 60.3 % per transference were obtained, with an implantation rate of 53.5 %. Overall miscarriage rate was 10.6 %. Additionally, day-5 FISH re-analysis was performed in 42 of the embryos from the clinical phase, obtaining a concordance rate of 97.6 % with day-3 arrayCGH.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s10815-012-9918-4) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users
